NEW Baby and toddler music classes start 13th May.

Rhythm Time fun and educational classes for babies and toddlers start at Barnoldswick Civic hall.

Recommended by health visitors, classes are divided into 3 age groups, baby, from birth to 14 months, toddler, from 15 months to 3 years, and preschool, from 3 years until school age.

In the baby class we exercise their limbs, dance and sing all the time, while including other activities to help brain development, eye tracking and balance.

For mums, it is a great chance to get together and can help post natal depression. In toddler class we sing exciting songs and explore percussion instruments.

Through these activities co-ordination, rhythm, pitch and listening and sharing skills are all developed. In the preschool class we introduce musical signs and simple notation while developing more fully their sense of rhythm and pitch - all great preparation for learning an instrument later on. (Preschool classes should be available in the near future).

Come and have some fun, whilst nurturing and developing your child's innate musical ability!
